Explore the timeless art of egg tempera painting in this engaging class led by local artist Charles Christianson. Egg tempera, a medium dating back to ancient times, offers unique qualities like vibrant colors and fine detail, making it perfect for artists who love precision and luminosity in their work.

​In this course, you'll learn the essentials of preparing your own egg tempera paint using traditional methods, mixing pigment with egg yolk to create a rich, fast-drying medium. We'll cover a variety of techniques such as layering, glazing, and working with fine brushstrokes to achieve the smooth, translucent effects that make egg tempera so distinctive.

Whether you're curious about trying a new medium or deepening your artistic practice, this class offers a rewarding journey into the world of egg tempera painting.
